Remember this smarty pants of a creature!? ALF (aka Alien Life Form), crashed his spaceship in a suburban garage. His spaceship is beyond repair, he's ugly, he's short, he's got a bad attitude and he loves cats! They are a delicacy from his home planet of Melmac!

8/12/1988: 30 years ago today, Hollywood also gave us the modern western masterpiece that is Young Guns, thus making Billy the Kid one of my childhood heroes. (Which is kinda messed up, but what a great movie.)

8/12/1988: 30 years ago today Hollywood gave us Mac And Me...which was in no way a cheap knock-off of E.T.

Hey, what's up?! Today is basically what's left of August 10, 2018, and we're here to talk about it the hit singles that topped the charts 33 years ago from today. "Money For Nothing" by Dire Straits peaked at #4 on the UK Singles chart and #1 for 3 weeks on the US Top Rock Tracks in the United States. The song won the Grammy Award for Best Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1986 at the 28th Annual Grammy Awards and the video won Video of the Year at the 3rd MTV Video Music Awards. Notable for its groundbreaking music video and a cameo appearance by sting singing background vocals providing both the signature falsetto introduction and backing chorus of "I want my MTV". The groundbreaking video was the 1st to be aired on MTV Europe when the network launched on August 1, 1987.

Just messing around with layout trying to bring the look of the 1980s back... I’m glad I was a kid in the 1980s it was such a cool time. Atari, MTV (you know MUSIC television), The Thunder Cats, Carebears, My Little Pony, Cabbage Patch Kids, some of the best music ever made by The Smiths, The Cure, New Order, Ozzy, Iron Maiden, Headbangers Ball, Prince, Madonna, Tony Hawk (raddest skateboarding ever), and all the great movies of the 80s especially the Horror genre 🤘🏻 Freddy Krueger.... ok I’ll stop... I miss the 80s you get it... #imissthe80s#1980s#mtv#80spopculture#iwantmymtv#80s#80skid#gettingolder#sucks#idontwannagrowup#toolate
